Nearing the end of training

It is Sunday afternoon in Matany, Uganda.  We have returned from a joyous, spirit filled and lively church service!  We are taking a little break before we resume our story crafting process after lunch.  The training that the Sunset Team prepared has been very well received and it has produced great fruit.  Our goal was to train the 14 pastors and CLIDE staff in how to go about crafting or writing a story that could then be shared orally.  We are reminded that 80% of the world’s population either totally rely on oral communication or prefer it.

We set out to train the participants in crafting the remaining 22 stories on the story cloth that not yet been written.  Our plan was to be finished on Wednesday October 31.  It looks like we will be done around noon on Monday. The process we prepared has worked very well.

Our team of Julie, Gail, and Mike are feeling great and strong.  We are greatly enjoying our time here with these dear people.

Thanks for your prayers, they are really working.
